News Nugget: Blame it on the chips?

Okay, so we all know to limit junk food and that too much of the stuff can pack on the pounds. But a new report finds the biggest culprit for weight creeping up – potato chips. Yep, bigger than soda, candy, and ice cream. Researchers say part of the reason is people don’t just eat one or two chips, but instead have the whole bag. (Don’t do that!)

I am not a big chip fan anymore. I ate then as a kid but as I got older – crackers were my thing – wheat thins, triscuits & that stuff which got banned from the house.. then came those healthy cereals like Kashi but still to yummy for me – banned!

Lucky for me, it is all about my weekend cookie treats & I have managed to work in my healthy bread!

I love love love chips, French fries especially. I actually learn a trick from a girlfriend recently. When we were at McDonllands, we both order a Filet O Fish meal and she asked for the Mayo to be taken out. I later asked why she did that and if it was because of allergy. She explained that she did it so that she can have some more fries. I thought that’s a neat trick!

Also, if you went to McDs and ordered a Children’s meal, that would have been the right portion size for an adult.
Easier said than done. I know.
